Picturesque shooting skills of plum blossom

Shooting skills of picturesque plum blossom: seeking truth from color and pursuing true colors.

The colors of plum blossoms are red, pink, yellow and white according to different varieties, but they are all filled with elegant and refined atmosphere, which is absolutely different from the flashy atmosphere of big purple. Therefore, the basic principle of reproducing the color of plum blossom is to pursue its true color, rather than exaggerating and putting an end to glitz. For digital cameras, the color deviation caused by improper white balance setting and the pseudo color caused by inaccurate exposure are the real enemies to restore the true colors of plum blossoms.

In the setting of white balance, try to set it manually according to the scene environment and proofread it on the basis of shooting. On the issue of exposure, we should combine the color of background, reference contrast and contrast to realize exposure compensation. For DC products with metering function, plum blossom should be used as the lighting point, and the reference exposure value should be locked to ensure the true and pure color.

Shooting equipment selection:

Cell phones and cameras can take pictures, which is not an important thing. In the choice of equipment, I will tell you the choice of lens, which may be more important. There are many focal lengths that can be used to shoot flowers, such as macro lens, 50mm, 24-70mm, 70-200mm and so on. Macro lens has high sharpness, and plum blossom details are more in place. And 70-200mm is easier to operate and more handy to use.

Shooting flowers with a large aperture is the most direct and effective method. First, a large aperture can blur the background and make the whole picture concise, thus effectively highlighting the main body. Second, a large aperture can create a hazy background, which is very helpful for taking pictures. However, when shooting with large aperture, attention should be paid to the connection point, the background and the subject should be clearly separated, and the subject should not be melted into the background.
